hi everyone<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">as you all know twitter is an amazing tool and the pan admin team is looking at finding a good way of using it to support assemblies worldwide. </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">therefore, alongside the useful pan newswire ( see <a href="http://www.peoplesassemblies.org/newswire/" target="_blank">http://www.peoplesassemblies.org/newswire/</a> ...and pls share it with any established assemblies that might wish to utilise it!) some of us are now taking forward a dedicated peoples assemblies network twitter feed, and this email is a request to ask if you would like to assist</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">if so, here is all the key info</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">(1) the twitter account to follow and participate in is</div><div class="gmail_quote">
<a href="https://twitter.com/panworldwide" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/panworldwide</a></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">(2) main idea is that a relatively open group can develop a global tweet system using systematic hashtags like</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">#newyorkassembly</div><div class="gmail_quote">#londonassembly</div><div class="gmail_quote">#torontoassembly</div><div class="gmail_quote">#madridassembly</div><div class="gmail_quote">#brightonassembly</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">and so forth </div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">(3) and then, by encouraging a following, using the group tweet function and also, where appropriate sharing password access with a trusted group we can then (using the same hashtag system so people know where to look) all of us, at whatever level of commitment we are comfortable with</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">(4) make announcements, share useful and inspiring info about our local assembly meetings, decisions, statements, call outs and other assembly related content. this will then be viewable (and also people can contribute directly) by everyone who follows our account, and/ or the local hashtag system as people get used to the hashtag protocol </div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">(5) the feed will then go out live on the pan site (as does occupy london feed at present - you'll see it if you scroll down the page <a href="http://www.peoplesassemblies.org" target="_blank">www.peoplesassemblies.org</a> and look on the right hand side) and on any other pages that choose to take it as a feed</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">(6) as part of the planning miki from barcelona has kindly produced a draft protocol* for use of pan twitter hashtags and so forth. feel free to contribute to the document</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"><a href="http://notes.occupy.net/p/pantwitter" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-size:12.800000190734863px;font-family:arial,sans-serif" target="_blank">http://notes.occupy.net/p/pantwitter</a><br>
<div><br></div><div>(7) what all this translates to ( for anyone unfamilar with twitter ) is that if you look at the twitter page <a href="https://twitter.com/panworldwide" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/panworldwide</a> you will see that i made two tweets on the pan twitter feed this morning. i used the hashtag #londonassembly as the tweets referred to info about 2 assemblies taking place in london this week. basically, using the same hashtag system anyone anywhere could post info about their local assembly, or the pan team could once we have the info. <div>
<br></div><div>(8) would be great if people could tweet with us there about assemblies elsewhere in europe or the usa or wherever this week so we can develop the platform. please send us your local assembly account details so we can follow you or follow us and we can go from there. also maybe you/we could invite people from other capitals not presently represented or active on this list to get involved. please do </div>
